In a famous passage from Harvests and Sowings, [Alexander] Grothendieck writes that most mathematicians work within a preconceived framework: “They are like the inheritors of a large and beautiful house all ready-built, with its living rooms and kitchens and workshops, and its kitchen utensils and tools for all and sundry, with which there is indeed everything to cook and tinker.” But he is part of a rarer breed: the builders, “whose instinctive vocation and joy is to construct new houses”.

Alexander Grothendieck was a mathematician.  Harvests and Sowings was his autobiography.

The quote reminds me of Thomas Kuhn's The Structure of Scientific Revolution.
